Prom Dress Incident

On Friday, May 20, 2011, Diane Scali, owner of the dress shop Diane & Co., made international headlines when she refused to issue a refund on a dress from a 16-year-old girl whose boyfriend and prom date died in a car accident just 2 weeks before her prom. [4] Scali was quoted in the media as saying "It's not my fault her boyfriend died.", to boycott Diane & Co. and within 5 days had 15,000 fans worldwide supporting the teenager. Scali made headlines in newspapers and television from New York to Los Angeles and United Kingdom. [5]

On Monday, May 23, Diane & Co. was the main subject of talk show radio angst as local and national radio programs discussed her choice to wage war on the young girl.
